Product Information
The Korum Recoil Shelter is a quick-erect fishing shelter for mobile coarse and specimen anglers who need more cover than a brolly but do not want a heavy session bivvy. It is useful for day sessions, short overnighters and changeable weather on lakes, rivers or canals.
The main shelter uses a compact push-together Speed Block that locks with a cam switch. That is the key design point, because the shelter is intended to go up and come down quickly when the angler is moving pegs or packing away in poor weather.
The fabric is 150D PU Flex with 5,000mm waterproofing and breathability. It is supplied with two lightweight storm poles and reinforced bivvy pegs, giving extra support at the front when conditions are less settled.
Published dimensions for the standard Recoil Shelter are 260cm by 160cm by 140cm. The shelter-only weight is commonly listed at 3.2kg, with a total package weight around 4.6kg. This is best viewed as a lightweight protection shelter rather than a full comfort bivvy. It gives practical coverage for chair and luggage while staying manageable for anglers who walk to swims or fish shorter sessions.
The standard shelter keeps the setup simple, while the wider Recoil family also includes heavier overnight variants.
